Teaching folks to solder is a great way to get them interested in electronics and the Maker Movement, however many cheap soldering kits are not up to the task in practice so you've decided to design your own. Learn what design considerations you should keep in mind when doing so in order to maximize student success and make your kit easy and fun to do. We will also discuss tips for teaching groups of students soldering including approaches to safety and technique refined over years.
Blenster has been teaching soldering to beginners for over 8 years. Not satisfied with the variety of existing kits he used at different events, he teamed up with The Hat to start creating kits designed to be easy for beginners to work with. Together they have taught many hundreds of students at dozens of events over the years.
KiCad KiCon KiCad2019
KiCon 2019 is a conference for people who use and love KiCad. This is the first year of KiCon, but hopefully the first of many! It will take place April 26th and 27th 2019 in Chicago IL, USA.
We are looking for community members to propose talks, which will be recorded and uploaded for the rest of the world to utilize. We're looking for stories about tools, methods, and successes using KiCad in manufacturing, research and business. This conference will bring together the power users of the tool to talk about how they use KiCad on a regular basis and to share that knowledge with others.
